Somewhere Koh Sichang

Somewhere Koh Sichang brings a refreshingly different take to Thailand’s resort scene, planted right on this quiet island getaway off the Chonburi coast. The property sits at Tha Thewawong, putting you within walking distance of the island’s main pier area where local life unfolds at a much slower pace than the mainland. This isn’t your typical beach resort destination – Koh Sichang has more of a local island vibe with historical sites scattered around.

What makes this place work is its position as one of the few proper resort options on an island that most tourists skip entirely. While many Thai islands have been overdeveloped, Koh Sichang keeps things low-key, and Somewhere fits right into that atmosphere. The 3-star setup means you’re getting solid comfort without the bells and whistles of luxury resorts. Wi-Fi keeps you connected when needed, though the island’s charm lies in slowing down and exploring on foot or by local transport.

Insider Tip: The ferry to Koh Sichang runs regularly from Si Racha pier on the mainland, but check the last departure time if you’re planning day trips back to Chonburi – you don’t want to get stranded.

Travelers looking for an off-the-beaten-path island experience will appreciate what Somewhere offers. The impressive 9.1/10 rating from 1,396 Agoda reviewers suggests guests consistently enjoy the experience, likely because expectations align with reality. This works best for independent travelers who want island vibes without crowds, plus history buffs drawn to the island’s royal palace ruins. The tradeoff? Limited nightlife and fewer restaurant options compared to major beach destinations. At 3 stars, expect comfortable basics rather than luxury touches.

Starting around $65 per night positions Somewhere as solid mid-range value for island accommodation, especially considering the limited competition on Koh Sichang. The island’s main draws – Phra Chudadhuj Palace ruins and scenic viewpoints – are all reachable by motorbike taxi or rental bike. Regular ferry connections to Si Racha make mainland Chonburi attractions accessible for day trips when you want more dining or shopping options.
